Sri Lanka's Energy Future Takes Center Stage at GoodWe and SLSEA's Solar + Storage Forum 2026

GoodWe, a world-leading PV inverter manufacturer and smart energy solutions provider, in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority (SLSEA), successfully hosted the Solar + Storage Forum 2026 at Marino Beach, Colombo. The event drew over 400 attendees from across Sri Lanka's renewable energy sector, reflecting strong interest in GoodWe's storage solutions and the country's growing push towards solar and battery energy adoption.

Attendees included Hon. Anura Karunathilaka, Minister of Energy, Mr. G.M.R.D. Aponsu, Secretary to the Ministry of Energy, and Prof. Wijendra J. Bandara, Chairman of SLSEA, alongside senior government officials and industry leaders.

Speaking at the event, Hon. Anura Karunathilaka, Minister of Energy, said: "Sri Lanka's clean energy future depends on strong collaboration between government, industry, and technology leaders. Forums such as this play a vital role in fostering innovation, attracting investment, and accelerating the deployment of renewable energy solutions."

Mr. G.M.R.D. Aponsu, Secretary to the Ministry of Energy, added: "As Sri Lanka continues to increase the share of renewable energy in its generation mix, energy storage technologies and grid modernization will become critical enablers."

Solar and storage at the heart of Sri Lanka's energy roadmap

Sri Lanka's power sector has long relied on hydro, thermal, and imported fuel, leaving it exposed to cost volatility and supply disruptions. As the country leans further into solar and wind to reduce that exposure, storage becomes essential to keeping supply steady through the day.

This shift is reflected in Sri Lanka's own targets: 70% renewable electricity by 2030, on the way to a carbon-neutral power sector by 2050. With over a decade of inverter expertise, GoodWe organized the Solar + Storage Forum 2026 to bring together the people working on this transition — government, industry, and technology providers alike.

The agenda also featured a session on China's export tax policy and raw material impact on PV and battery pricing, presented by Shanghai Materials Market (SMM), a panel discussion on the Future of Energy Storage in Sri Lanka, a C&I ESS case study and GoodWe's Utility BESS Solutions — reflecting GoodWe's standing as Sri Lanka's No. 1 rooftop solar storage brand.

Continuing to lead the market, firmly ranking as the No. 1 rooftop solar storage brand in Sri Lanka

As the No. 1 rooftop solar storage brand in Sri Lanka, GoodWe has been deeply rooted in the local market for many years, and has earned extensive trust from installers, EPCs and end users by virtue of its excellent product quality, sound Localization services and continuous technological innovation.

Showcasing next-generation residential and C&I storage solutions

As part of the forum, GoodWe showcased its latest residential and Commercial & Industrial (C&I) energy storage portfolio, reinforcing the innovation that has made the company Sri Lanka's No. 1 rooftop solar storage brand. Featured solutions included the Lynx U G3 paired with ES Uniq, the ET LV Series, and the Lynx A G4, built around GoodWe's innovative CoreLock concept, which seamlessly integrates the battery and inverter into a unified, one-stop energy storage solution. For commercial, industrial and large-scale projects, GoodWe further presents DC-coupled, AC-coupled and AC/DC integrated energy storage solutions, which fully cover new solar-plus-storage projects, existing photovoltaic retrofitting and large-scale energy application scenarios, demonstrating GoodWe's comprehensive solution capability from products to systems. Also on display was the ESA-Athena, a compact all-in-one solar-plus-storage system designed for balconies and small spaces.

James Hou, Sales Head (APAC) at GoodWe, said: "As the No. 1 rooftop solar storage supplier in the residential and C&I markets, GoodWe is committed to supporting Sri Lanka's clean energy transition and the role of solar and storage in achieving the country's renewable energy goals."

The second edition of Solar + Storage Forum marks another step in strengthening collaboration between government, industry, and technology providers, supporting Sri Lanka's vision of a greener, more energy-secure future.
